Prince of Crime – Jared Leto as the Joker

About 10 hours ago, it was announced that the latest actor to play the Joker will be Jared Leto.

Thanks to Newsrama we have some fan reactions to the news of Heath Ledger being cast as The Joker in The Dark Knight.

“Heath? let’s reminisce on the days of A Knight’s Tale and Ten Things I Hate About You. Heath? The Joker? Bad casting. Bad joke.”

“probably the worst casting of all time.”

“On no, it’s wrong on every level.”

“This is totally bull. I do not at all like this choice.”

“Hell NOOOOOOOOOOOOO”

“And now begins the second downfall of the Batman series… I hope this is all a joke”

“I am NOT seeing this movie if he is in it.”

“The Joker is a character that needs an actor with gravity. Not some little twerp who got lucky.”
